Navigating pages and playing back a drill

The timeline at the bottom of the editor shows every page of your drill. Use it to jump between pages, step through counts, and play your drill.

Move between pages

1. Click a page. Click a page number in the timeline to go to that page. The top bar shows which page you’re on, like “Page: 2 / 5”.

2. Use the keyboard. Press [ for the previous page or ] for the next page.

3. Preview a page. Hover over a page number to see a preview of that page.

See more of the timeline

• Expand it. Click the arrow button next to Play (Expand timeline) to show a snapshot of each page. Click it again to collapse it.
• Resize it. Drag the handle at the top of the timeline up or down. Pull it all the way up to see all pages.
• See every page at once. Click the grid button next to Play (Show all pages). The All Pages gallery opens. Click a page to jump to it, or press Esc to close the gallery.

Step through counts

With the timeline expanded, the count ruler shows each count of each move. Click a count to see where performers are at that moment, or drag across the counts to scrub through the move.

Play your drill

1. Pick a starting page. Go to the page you want to start from.

2. Click Play. Click the play button in the timeline (Play drill), or press the spacebar. Performers move to each page in turn, using each page’s Counts and Tempo. If you’ve added music, it plays along.

3. Pause. Click the button again (Pause drill), or press the spacebar. Playback stops at the start of the move it was on.

Playback stops on its own when it reaches the last page.

Tips

• Selection clears when you play. Select your performers again after playback.
• Change the timing. Each page’s Counts and Tempo are in the top bar. See Adding a page to a drill.
• Watch it in 3D. Switch to 3D and play from there. See Viewing a drill in 3D.
